With this vacation guide, I’ve taken my favorite spots in this country I’ve called home and created a flexible itinerary for your trip. It’s built around an 8 day trip (2 in Porto, 1 in Coimbra, 4 in Lisbon (with day trips), and 1 in The Algarve). But, it’s also flexible. There are an additional 7 day trips from Porto, Coimbra, and Lisbon that will allow you to extend your trip to 15 days. Or, you can swap out a day trip for one of your days in another
city.
